Trigger MDM workflow from Webdynpro Java

[Former Member]

Hi All,

After updating records in MDM, I want to trigger an MDM workflow from Webdynpro Java and pass those updated records to workflow. Any inputs on how to accomplish this. Workflow has already been developed using MSVISIO by the MDM team.

Thanks,

Hi Tom,

You can easily Trigger a workflow from your Web Dynpro application after updating a record using MDM Java 2 API. Use RetrieveWorkflowsCommand to retrieve the workflows and then CreateWorkflowJobCommand command to launch the workflow.

Hope this helps!!

Hi Tom

If this is MDM workflow then in the properties of the workflow you can select the actions for trigerring the workflows. Please select "record change". Now each time record is updated the workflow should be triggered.

By following steps, it is possible to integrate workflow (or any workflow designed in MDM) within portal:

1. UWL (Universal Worklist): The UWL gives users unified and centralized way to access their work and the relevant

information in the portal. It collects tasks and notifications from multiple provider systems. One can expose MDM

workflow functionality on Portal using UWL.

2. JAVA APIu2019s: MDM Java API consists of set of classes related to MDM workflows through which one can create an

application that provide the MDM workflow functionality and expose the application as an iView in the portal.
